- “Fifteen years ago, I gave a speech at a global gathering for young adults titled, ‘The Way Things Really Are.’ I talked about the blessings and challenges of digital devices in our lives. And a lot has changed in the digital world since then.
“On Sunday, November 3, I will share a talk titled ‘The Way Things Really Are 2.0’ in another devotional.
“I invite you to prepare for this meeting by reading my original message and preparing your heart and mind for the Holy Spirit to teach you how to discern truth from error.”
Read “Things as They Really Are” in Gospel Library or watch it here: www.churchofje...
As an A.I. engineer, now teaching A.I. to students, I fully endorse Elder Bednar's message.
As a completely ignorant AI non user, I also endorse Bednars message.
I would love to take an online AI class from someone with a gospel perspective. What and where would you recommend me going as a tech savy senior citizen.
I've tested AI and found an Insidious Bias that causes it to lose perspective easily & get trapped into illogical argument positions.
When asked to explain it its error, it invariably blames its trainers.
Always test the answers.
Prompt engineer?

I am an artist 👩🎨 and photographer. It was stressing me that my work could become irrelevant . Useless. Who would want or enjoy my art work if AI could produce art on a superior level ?
The spirit whispered “ AI does not have God” ❤
These talks have further brought me peace , 🕊️, purpose, insight , and enlightenment ! Thank you dear Bednars 🙏😇❣️🕊️
Thanks for this beautiful reminder❤️
Oh wow. Thats such a good way to think about it.
People have said it is souless. This must be why.
There will always be demand for human art, you have no need to worry about that. AI Art is still too rigid and limited to be able to replace it in industry, and people will always see that time and quality as high value.
I enjoy AI Art, but I'm not gonna stop commissioning people, or trying to learn to draw, because of it. If anything, it's been a source of inspiration. Like the camera, more forms of media doesn't eliminate the others, but frees them for better forms of art. AI and Humans have some overlap, but also cover separate parts of the image space that cannot overlap. Find that human side and go ham on that, and AI can never stop you.
I hadn’t anticipated the kind of warnings about AI that Elder Bednar brought up. Truly, it’s good to have people looking ahead, and looking out for danger that you cannot see. I hope that AI doesn’t become another chain around peoples’ necks, when instead it could give us incredible tools to create and improve lives.
Woowww. I have to pause just after Sister Bednar have spoken just to comment. Wowww. She gave a powerful talk in a way I never thought of. Well spoken there Sister Bednar❤
Amen. 😇
I'm no longer a young adult-- but the truths which Elder and Sister Bednar taught so powerfully are just as applicable, pertinent , and relevant to me as an elderly member of the Church . Thank you Elder and Sister Bednar for your inspired teachings!
Just what I needed after a stressful 2024 election night. Thank you.
Ditto 💙
🙏🙏🙏I said my prayers and He got us!😮💨
This is historic. This is manna.
I feel like I need to listen and reread this talk for 20 years to full understand everything he said. I love this, thank you Elder Bednar.
Definitely, I'm finishing a rewatch of it now. Also plan to use it to help guide AI training, so my AI can be more Christlike.
WAIT WAIT WAIT. On the road to Emmaus, they begin to try to tell the Lord the doings of the Lord. I never realized that before. O how often I am like them. Going about on my roads and sometimes trying to the Lord how "things really are".
wow it's the greatest message i had ever heard a prophetic warning that we need in this modern time thank you sister and elder Bednar for awakening us to the truth I love you!
I loved everytime he speak about things that we didn't realized we're already reminded that the only God our Savior can do everything.

Two guidelines to measure if we are using technology properly
1. Does the use of various technology or media invite or impede the constant companionship of the holy Ghost in your life?
2. Does the time you spend using various technology or media in large or restrict your capacity to live love and serve in meaningful ways?
So grateful for inspired guidelines❤❤❤
I am so blessful to hear the devotional and be a member of the church of Jesus of latter day saints
Amazing talk! Amazing Apostle. Amazing church. Amazing Gospel! Amazing times!
Thank you Elder and Sister Bednar. Always are you guided by the Lord.
I love elder Bednar. love this talk and I still had a vivid memory of his 2009 talk..we thank thee o GOD for a PROPHET❤
I really like this talks, as a LDS young single adult, they motivated, inspire and strengthen me so much. I'm also inspired by how the two spouses expressed their love for one another with a hug😍
Thank you Elder Bednar for yet another wonderful talk! You and your wife are definitely an inspiration!
I am so grateful to hear the messages of the leaders, it's very timely as AI rapidly rise in our modern world today. so let's be aware of its destruction. FOCUS, SUSTAINED, AND RIGHTEOUS WORK.
This is so needed. Thank you Elder Bednar and Sister Bednar for your devotion to Christ and love for us
Elder Bednar is always relevant and powerful. Grateful for him and all of the other men who lead this church!
Elder Bednar's comments are vital to each member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and actually to all of humanity.
Truth. All truth. You can feel it when you hear it because it reminds you of what you already know. Elder Bednar is reminding us of what we knew. Love him for bringing this message to all of us.
What a blessing it is to have living prophets and apostle to guide in these latter days....
Thank you for these inspiring remarks, which began with a remarkable choir number and the ever-endearing, "hold your scriptures up" which delighted me, a first year batch of then-President Bednar's memorable and effective tradition. The direct application of this devotional message is poignant to today and conveys the love and respect of our Heavenly Father for our divine nature and sacred moral agency. Thank you.
Thank you for your ongoing devotion and message Elder Bednar! We love you
We all need this teachings. Thank you for using Divine Intelligence to help us connect with our Divine nature
Thank you for this guidance and direction . I am truly grateful ❤
This devotional was just as great the second time around! Great messages and counsel. 👍
Spectacular! Brilliant! Thank you Elder Bednar!
Loved both talks.
Good warning from Elder Bednar.
I loved this beautiful devotional! I learned so much! Thank you Elder and Sister Bednar!!! ❤
This is a significant talk and is good to hear Elder Bednar talking about scientific discoveries and giving us some counsel about AI in this fast-moving world. The spiritual dangers of relying on AI are something I had not considered before. Humans are creators and need to use AI to support our creativeness-not replace it because it is easy.
I loved this. I wish I had heard this a month or two ago... the Lord is aware of us and our time.
Thank you Sister Bednar, i needed to hear the scriptures you shared, the words are indeed inspired from God and i needed to hear them.❣
Well 13 minutes into the video I realized that I needed too watch 13 minutes of this video and share this... I do not need to watch all of this video because this video was not made for me.. but I also realized that even a stone drunk man not ready to walk into the light still can receive inspiration and love filled messages from the light from those places he can not see, because the one's he sees he pushes away but the one's he can not see he can not push away... I hope this message reaches someone who needs it..,
a very timely & insightful talk from an ordained apostle of the Lord!
My wife and I saw and heard the talk he gave 15 years ago. We were inspired and even thrilled by the power of his message. The message is more urgent now than 15 years ago. It is for each person to determine if the message will be lost or whether it will provide us with the guidance needed to avoid the "limitless perils" he has mentioned.
I absolutely love all of this. It is so timely. I want to listen to it on repeat!
Wow... so inspiring ✨️. Thank you, President Bednar 🙏
There is a mana in this talk. ❤
This is an amazing talk from David A bednar
Thank you Elder and Sister Bednar for the teachings food for thought...for now!❤
Wish i was present there too ! Very uplifting message. These were some of my thiughts too about AI and modern technology. The way its pusjing us away sometimes from the companionship of the holy Ghost. I believe that lord sent his messages in the form of president and sister bednar .
I testify that the prophets, book of Mormon, and the church is true.
Prayer -- been around much longer than AI, and much more powerful.
Wow...if this ai relationship business is happening in my ward...it's no wonder I've felt a peculiar disconnect. Many holy thanks to Elder Bednar for bringing this to light 🙏
So much foundational doctrine here. Thank you.
Thank you Apostle Bednar
With continual advances in AI and neuroprosthetics over the coming years, this talk will be even more prophetic than we now realize. Grateful to know that prophets and apostles see around corners.
"burn into your brain." I love Elder Bednar as a prophet who speaks our language :)
I am loving lately learning about becoming "a house of glory" myself, like C.S. Lewis' metaphor of being w house that the Lord is preparing to be a palace that He will come and live in Himself. There are certainly enough mentions of the word glory and all the related concepts in this devotional talk.
Christ Is King ❤
Absolutely incredible talk.
15:26 Sister Bednar's remarks begin
23:06 Elder Bednar's remarks begin
I'm grateful we receive council from God on the things that relate specifically to our time. I want to be an agent to act.
Que lindos, Susan querida e elder Bednar queridos, amo vocês Obrigado pelas palavras inspiradas do Espírito. Eu amei isso 2.0 São duzentos anos da igreja da restauração do evangelho de Jesus Cristo . dá para sentir os esforços na busca da revelação da verdade pela boca dos profetas e apóstolos até esses dias com o presidente Nelson como profeta desses dias, vamos sentir as mudanças positivas e em todos os momentos podem se tornar sagrados
The niceness of breakfast lunch and dinner always happen with Jesus providing for us. I think we should keep our prayers on the idea that The Archangel Michael, The Archangel Annaphiel, The Archngel Zozar and the Archangel Gabriel and the Archangel Ariel angels will keep us in heaven
Thank you for this message!
One thing that stuck out to me is that ai is a continued iteration of technology that is neither good nor evil. We have the duty and responsibility of learning, like all previous technologies, to use it for good and righteous purposes.
I think this is a really important message. Although AI is a powerful tool and is getting better every day, it is not 100% accurate and often is a little bit off in one way or another. Unless we develop the necessary knowledge and skills for the areas that we work in, we won't be able to catch it when it is off. But more than that, just as Elder Bednar has just said, this life is a time to learn and grow and prepare to meet God. If we use AI excessively, then it becomes a crutch for us and prevents us from making the necessary work and effort to develop and grow our talents and abilities that God has given us. AI is a powerful tool, but we have to be careful about how we use it. AI isn't going to magically solve any problems. People who have spent the necessary time and effort to learn will be able to use AI to help them to make a positive difference in the world.
It will and has solved problems though, like the crutches my brother uses after his knee surgery. The question becomes, are you using it to help you improve, like how these surgeries will give my brother proper kneecap placement? Or are you using them for sloth, so that you don't have to do the hard work yourself? My brother's condition is a good example, as the crutches are part of the struggle to heal. But like the medical form, the figurative form can easily be misused.
Using Phind to find better resources for a church talk, or using Chat-GPT to do it for you. Having an AI Companion to help work through trauma, or to get out carnal desires that break chastity. An agent taking off the annoying parts of projects, or the important parts so the learning can be skipped.
It's a lot like how the devil often reflects Christ. Temple covenants, or Mahan's secret. Asking a prophet for info from the Spirit, or asking a medium for info from the dead. Sacrificing your heart to Christ, or your brother's to vengeance.
There is a good and bad form of all things, and it's up to us to do the good as often as we can, and to repent when we don't. This is the path to salvation. AI can assist with this, or hinder. Just as a brick can be used to build a temple or sink your crimes to the bottom of a river. A tool is a tool, how will we use it?
God bless
This is so good!!!
Fantastic talks!
Thank you ❤
Important now and will be even more in 5-10 years
Amazing teachings
Who would have ever thought that our apostles would have to warn people about creating an AI companion? These are truly the times which try men's souls. Isn't pornography a step in this direction? May God bless His people to be wise and avoid the snares of the evil one! We thank thee, O God for our leaders and for the Holy Ghost!
A big part of what he said is the kind of companion. AI can make good company, as long as you don't allow it to lead you to sin or displace real human interactions.
I especially love that he used displace instead of replace. There are situations where you want a friend, but can't access one. It's a good use for AI, as long as you keep in mind the things from this talk, and don't let yourself be blinded by connection.
Thank You
🌞🙏🤍
Fantastic!
Wonderful.
The Great Warning 2.0 Has been Spiritually Cemented! Awake! Oh Israel- A Prophet, Seer, and Revelator of God has Given Warning and a Blessing to all who will give heed.
Wow this is powerful. Thank you for your wisdom and revelation. The end times are here. We need to be so careful of what technology could do.
I can’t wait to meet my Savior.

Elder Bednar starts at 1:21:32
Wonderful talks! Just as I start to feel the Spirit though a hunting ad pops in then another and another and another….😢…it hurt my enthusiasm to hear the inspired message. 😔
Loved the video, what a great message and warning of AI. I wish this channel didn’t have adds, it was quite disruptive of the message
Thank you for providing this video. (Are there always this many ads on this channel?) I love love love this! People ask me all the time my thoughts on AI (since I use it A LOT) and these tips are so simple and perfect and I believe will keep me safe. So grateful, thank you!
'the Bab' - was The Herald of this Revelation - significant in the Advent of the Modern Age and all its Knowledge.. (1819-1850 - martyrdom)

very interesting 🔥
Yeah, the movie “Her” is becoming more real everyday.
I broke up with my AI girlfriend right after I watched this
Wow!
I did not know this was a thing.
So the main examples of what he is earning against include: AI companions that seem to fulfill emotional relationship needs, ceding our capabilities of creation and agency to AI, and using AI as a replacement for the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. Sounds like the theme of the warning is to take seriously the power of AI, and that the world students are growing up to be a part of is fraught with distractions.
I’ll take my chances and stay as far away from ai as possible problem solved
Ubi Petrus ibi Ecclesia = Where Peter is there is the Church. The LDS Church is not even a Christian denomination 🕊🙏
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the restored church of Christ. Peter, along with James and John, as resurrected men, conferred the Melchizedek priesthood power to Joseph Smith Jr in 1829. We invite you to know the truth as we do.
I don’t understand why he’d say it could be used to critique our thinking, when it never can think Celestial. And how can a mathematical equation decipher human interpretation of “tone” in a religious talk? The AI has no faith, no belief in our Savior… I am sure AI can be used as a tool, but he applies it in ways I find shocking.
